Sonia Gandhi in Kota (Rajasthan)

Sonia Gandhi in Kota (Rajasthan) takes a dig at poisonous mindset of BJPCongress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi addressed a huge election rally in Kota at poll bound Rajasthan. She lauded the efforts taken by the Ashok Gehlot- led Congress govt in the state for the welfare and upliftment of the people in the state and also launched a blistering attack on BJP for levelling baseless charges against the state government.

“Everyone is convinced about the rapid development taking place in Rajasthan, except the BJP. It sees no development in Rajasthan and levels baseless allegations against us. The BJP even alleges that the free medicines being distributed to the poor in Rajasthan, contains poison” said the Congress President and commented, “The poison is not in the medicines but in the mindset of the BJP, which is busy in attacking us. They are just greed for power and are not bothered about the poor”.



Showering praises on Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in the state, Sonia Gandhi said, “I want to specially appreciate the free-medicine-distribution scheme for the poor implemented by the Gehlot government in Rajasthan, by which everyone can avail free medicine and treatment facilities at government hospitals in the state. Under its food security scheme, food grains at Rs. 1/- per kg is available for the persons below BPL. I also specially mention the old age and widow pension scheme launched by the Congress government here. For the first time in its history, the state govt increased the pension amount and ensured that every old aged person does get it. The Gehlot govt also has begun a scheme with the cooperation of HUDCO to provide permanent housing for the people below BPL. Every family in the state feel socially secured now due to the various welfare measures taken by the Congress government.”
The UPA Chairperson also explained various development measures taken by the Central government like MNREGA, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Food Security Bill, Land Acquisition Bill and Right to Information Act.

In another dig at BJP, Sonia Gandhi said, “We are not among those who keep on spreading lies and making false claims.  The BJP has been doing this since long. Let them do whatever they feel like. Let them abuse us, but we will continue our good work for the mankind. We will continue to work for Rajasthan’s development and for making the lives of its people better and brighter” and promised, “I want to assure you that we will fulfil all the promised made in our election manifesto, honestly and with commitment”.

At the end of her address, the Congress President urged, “I, therefore, appeal to all of you to ensure each and every single vote in favour of Congress so that Rajasthan will have a Congress government yet again”.
The state of Rajasthan goes to polls on December, 1.
